Clause 39 - Determination of specified budgets of LEA
Education Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Stephen Timms (Minister of State (School Standards), Department for Education and Skills; East Ham, Labour)
I welcome you back to the Chair, Mr. Griffiths.
I beg to move amendment No. 206, in clause 39, page 25, line 4, after 'budget', insert 'for a financial year'.
This is a purely technical amendment to remedy a defect in the drafting. In clause 39, after the phrase ''LEA budget'' and ''schools budget'' in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection 45A there is the phrase ''for a financial year''. That phrase has been missed out after the expression ''individual schools budget'' in paragraph (3). Amendment No. 206 rectifies that omission, to bring paragraph (3) into line with the preceding two paragraphs. It also allows the reader to make sense of what is being referred to.
Amendment agreed to.
